Best Smoked Pork Chops With Pineapple Rosemary Sauce Recipes

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH PINEAPPLE-ROSEMARY SAUCE

Steps:

• Put aside one fourth of pineapple for another use. Cut enough of remainder into 1/4-inch dice to measure 1/2 cup and reserve the rest. Squeeze juice from reserved rind with your hands into a blender. Cut reserved pineapple into 1-inch chunks and purée with juice in blender at high speed until very smooth, about 1 minute.
• Pour purée into a dampened-cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a bowl. Drain until you have 1 cup juice, about 30 minutes.
• Boil juice in a small skillet over moderately high heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 10 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook oil, rosemary sprig, and garlic in a small heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Discard rosemary and garlic and transfer 1 tablespoon oil to a 10-inch heavy skillet. Whisk remaining oil into reduced juice and stir in diced pineapple, lemon juice, and salt.
• Pat chops dry. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Heat oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chops, turning once, until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
• Discard fat from skillet, then add pineapple sauce and bring to a boil over moderate heat, scraping up any brown bits. Pour sauce over chops.

PINEAPPLE GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix together the drained pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder together in a large plastic zipper bag, and smush the bag a few times with your hands to mix the marinade and dissolve the sugar. Place the pork chops into the marinade, squeeze out any air in the bag, seal it, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve the pineapple rings.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chops from the marinade, shaking off excess, and grill until browned, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the meat shows good grill marks, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Brush several times with marinade and let the marinade cook onto the surface of the meat. Discard excess marinade. While the meat is grilling, place 4 pineapple rings onto the grill, and allow to cook until hot and the slices show grill marks; serve the chops topped with the grilled pineapple rings.
